The Boston Scholars Program proudly announces its Class of 2009. This year's Class consists of 10 confirmed Scholars, with four more awaiting relief of "wait-list" status at their respective independent schools. This year's Scholars come 7 different middle schools and will be heading to 8 different high schools in the fall.The selection process was much more difficult this year. Due to the increase in partnerships Boston Scholars established since the Class of 2008 was awarded, our reach to underprivileged youths expanded significantly and resulted in over 75 applicants. Boston Scholars worked closely with the following partner organizations in order to identify motivated candidates for the program: Big Brothers of Mass Bay, Boys and Girls Club of Boston, Citizen Schools, Epiphany School, Mother Caroline Academy, Nativity Prep, Edwards, Timilty and Roxbury Prep.
